Life Lately

In my previous “life lately” post, I mentioned that I decided to quit my job. I’ve officially left my corporate job. I gave myself exactly one week of rest before my transition back to school. So last week, there were a lot of DIY post because I had a lot of free time (check them out here, here, and here).

I don’t remember if I mentioned this but I’ve decided to go to a fashion design school for product development. It’s not exactly the route that most Asian parents like mine would agree with so it took me a while to get to this step. After my undergrad a few years ago, I was expected to eventually go back for my masters but I didn’t think it was fitting for me. I spent 2 years in a corporate role and I felt miserable. So now, I’m in a design school and have started my first day of class this past week.

On a side note, major life changes call for a lot eating. One memorable place was Plan Check (which you might have seen on my instagram: @vickyt0215); I was finally able to visit this past month in celebration of going back to school. They were having a collaboration with Sanrio and featured Chococat and Pompompurin.

There was a set menu that included a sandwich with Pompompurin stamped onto the bread, chips, mac and cheese, vanilla cream soda that also had Pompompurin on it, and a Chococat cookie served with ice cream. The bonus is that they included a cap with the meal.

Recently Pokemon Go has been released; for those that are unfamiliar, it’s an iOS and Android app. I’m not sure if anyone else is playing, but I’ve decided to jump onto the bandwagon and try it out. I haven’t really gotten very far in the game since it really needs you to walk around and I’m a little lazy to leave the house lol.

They say Pokemon Go is not released in Taiwan >< (one of the few country)
It's amazing to see it go viral on my facebook page and seems everyone in the states is talking about it!
Congrats on going back to school! Product development sounds suitable for you with your talent of DIY and on top of that to FIDM! (one of my dream school as well)
Sure, it's always hard to persuade Asian parents, I am glad you did though i believe the process was A process….. looking forward to how you do in school, and enjoy school !!!!!!! (i wish to go back to school and not living in the adult world lol)
All the best to you!

Congrats Vicky! I hope everything is going well in school, product development definitely suits you, especially after seeing so many of your amazing DIYs! Can’t wait for you to share more about ur new school 🙂 all the best!!

I still don’t know what the hype is all about Pokémon Go, but I’m waiting until it’s released here too! I think it’s great you follow your own path regardless what others expect from you! Wishing you all the best 🙂
